Well, I'll try. Seems you are using ghost. Seems the program is wanting to write a file to a:\.. What is your a: drive? What is the drive letter of that sata drive? Or is it not showing as a drive yet? Why don't you snag a copy of Partition Magic, and use it to try and partition and format that drive? I have overcome many problems with it.
"why are you using ghost to format the drive?" im using my recovery cd to format the hard drive,but its not working obviously.
